I have had this hammer for a long time, and it wasn’t new when I got it. The faces are done for. Am I right that they are pressed in, and I will probably have to drill them out? As near as I can tell, they are 1 1/2 inch diameter. If I buy 1 1/2 and they are too big I can turn them down. Any...

Working on an older Farmall tractor, I needed some drive in ( unthreaded) grease zerks. Called O’Reilly’s. Special order, $0.69 each, shipping $20. So much for buy local. Amazon prime ten for $9.99.

Got this in an auction lot. AB Sullivan Machinery Company. Based on the company history from Google, I suspect it’s for some type of air compressor, or other drilling or mining machinery.

Sap chiller I hope this link works. All upgrades and improvements seem to come with their own problems. Last year I installed a reverse osmosis system in my sugarhouse. It increases the sugar concentration in maple sap from 1-2% up to 8-10%, reducing the time and energy required to produce...

I have been looking for another tank for my maple sugaring operation since last summer. I don’t want plastic, and stainless steel runs about $1-3/gallon used. New tanks come from Canada. I finally found a 1200 gallon insulated tank for much less. And traded obsolete equipment for it. The...

Got these in an old tap and die set

I have an ancient Hendey lathe that I have had for nearly fifty years. I took a couple of adult education machine shop courses at a local high school, but I am certainly not a machinist. The lathe doesn’t have a threading dial, and I have always just locked the half nuts and reversed the motor...

Title says it. My firewood processor uses an electric clutch to control the chainsaw. The GDI controller is used to give a smooth start, and not shock the clutch or drive components. It is a control only, not a relay, full clutch current goes through the switch. As far as I can find out, GDI is...

From a yard sale. These were all in the same box. Maybe related, but IDK. The broken claw tool the modified Allen wrench and the odd shaped thing were in the handle of the pin vise. Only the odd shaped one fits the collet. The long needlelike things were all together in a tube. They look like...

House up the road got sold. New owners are cleaning out all the contents so they will have room for their own ****. Everything FREE. So I got ther a little late, and a lot of it had been picked over, but I found this. I never knew such a thing existed.

Reassembling the brakes on my tractor, and found this. I’m glad it came out in one piece when I took it apart. The bolt size is 7/16 x 14 USS. My friend spotted the hourglass shape, and I put the pitch gauge against it just for grins.

Digging through my auction haul some more. Found this. Bang Pruf, like my ex. CA Claflin CO Boston MA Hooke an air horn to it, it still works, doesn’t even leak.

Another piece from my auction haul yesterday. Generator or starter case gets hung on the round shaft, drag link socket goes on the square drive, big screw forces the socket into the screw head, preventing it from slipping out. Really heavily constructed, Loooks like factory built, but no...

Picked this up at an auction yesterday. It was part of a lot of more moder stands. I don’t see any markings on it. Does anyone recognize it, or know anything about it?

Before someone broke it and turned it into a punch? Speed master 84-843 Made in USA Patent Pending I don’t recognize the brand name. Looks like it could have been a ratchet , or a breaker handle.

Anybody got a leg for one? Or the whole puller if you would let it go cheap? Couldn’t believe we broke this on a stupid Dodge Caravan hub. Trying to change the wheel bearing. The axle wouldn’t slide out of the hub to give access to the bearing retaining bolts. OK, grab the old hub puller and...

Got pretty late and cold Saturday, electrician hurrying to finish up. #4 URD is tough to strip when it’s warm. My knife was sharper than the one he was used to. White neutral wire now mismarked as hot ( red).

I have an air operated diaphragm pump to transfer used oil from barrels to my furnace tank. Yesterday it was acting really slow, and today it wouldn’t pump at all. I partly disassembled it, and discovered that some of my used oil had shrapnel from who knows where in it. Chunks of metal had...

And who made them? Came from a bunch of tools that were given to me. Owner, now passed away, was a trucker, if that helps.
